Chapter 10: Big Enemy!
The event at the governor's pavilion was more valuable than attending, rather than being an embarrassing display. After all, the event was only the first round of eliminating participants and was a delayed broadcast, so many shots were cut. Her role as a jury became very meaningless, the young artist Melissa Adrian, by relying on a young and sexy body, her voice was far from beautiful than Maya Agustin's, but she had a professional agent and manager and was currently debuting. Artists like Maya who have no hits and were no longer popular, thus they would be abandoned and forgotten.
That's the entertainment industry. Ever-changing and always new. The old artist will be forgotten.
Luckily she quickly switched paths to become a politician, and if her political career was successful, she was still Maya Agustin Isaac, the last name which she never dared to publish. Otherwise, She would have used her last name and create a sensation that would beat up the rookie artist, until her debut ended abruptly.
Without the knowledge of her husband, Maya Agustin did not return to her house, she went straight to her father's villa to meet her father, mother, and Shasha, thinking of begging for their family's forgiveness.
She was ready to receive judgment and punishment from both her mother and child. She didn't care if she will lose her husband. After all, he also wouldn't be losing much, besides the sensation this secret will make people's eyes go wide.
Her big enemy now was her ex-husband, her rival, the most formidable opponent, and hard to beat.
Tonight, was the last chance her father gave to her. Dinner with family. Maya didn't know that her big enemy was also there.

Shasha stared in disbelief, the old man selling fried foods in front of her was her real grandfather. She knew the old man well but she did not recognize him when they were on the stage of honor.
Isaac Ibrahim, the famous rich man was the kind old man who always helped her push the book cart, the person who often gave her tofu fry, was her biological grandfather. How could that be? Suddenly her vision darkened. Her grandfather caught her in time and laid her on the sofa.
Shasha was in shock. Her grandmother Maimunah was crying beside her. Rahmat called the doctor immediately. Shasha was just experiencing a normal shock. Her body was very strong. She was just tired and didn't get enough rest. Her grandfather Isaac waited anxiously for her. Her favorite granddaughter was now by his side. Even Maimunah had returned. Even though Mrs. Maimunah had not forgiven him, he did not want to lose them again.
It was already evening, Mr. Rahmat said to his wife that he accepted his ex-in-laws invitation to dinner, of course, he had to prepare himself to face Maya tonight. After Shasha passed out, Maya arrived at the place.

Maya Agustin didn't sleep since last night. She spent a long time at the TV station. After the event, she immediately went to the airport. She took short naps on planes and in cars, but they weren't enough.
Her father glared at her. She didn't dare look at her father. This time there was nothing she could do. She must be ready to accept whatever her father orders, for her future. She did not lose a bigger opportunity, yet. Being together with her father was better than living with her husband and Regina, her stepdaughter.
"Hold a press conference about your divorce!" His father's words were like lightning that grabbed her body until it was scorched.
Now she was facing a new war. Her husband will become her new enemy.
She was speechless. Her body trembled. Her heart broke in an instant. How could she be able to part with her husband? How could she just decide to divorce? For no plausible reason.
Her father slammed the document folder on the table, making her gasp. The folder contained her husband's financial misappropriation of Maya's wealth and hard work.
Regina was disappointed. The real desire to enter the house was not just to meet Maya, but also because she wanted to meet Isaac, her step-grandfather. However, he felt proud to have a wealthy grandfather. People will respect and submit to her for having someone very influential as a grandfather. She did not expect that she would be rejected and expelled just like that.
Regina struggled from the security guards who led her out of the living room. She screamed for her mother. But her mother didn't come out to help her. Regina was hurt. Why did her mother have the heart to ignore her and let her be humiliated in that place?
But was it true that his mother was still there? Regina couldn't believe she was disappointed that her mother wouldn't have the heart for her face.
In the dining room, Maya Agustin stood wanting to go out to help Regina. Her father Isaac Ibrahim raised his hand, forbidding her to go out.
Regina stopped wriggling when she saw Shasha passing by the living room. "What's that girl doing here?" Regina asked herself. She grinned to herself. 'That was just great. She must be a maid.' Regina could be satisfied bullying her then. Regina did not know that in reality, she was the one who would feel oppressed.
Regina came out of the villa area. The feeling of disappointment was slightly relieved. The existence of Shasha as a maid in that place made her happy. If Shasha was a maid at her grandfather's place, that meant she could make Shasha her maid. Regina was lost in her dreams.
If there were people who were in the least comfortable position today, that was Maya Agustin. She's just felt sick to stay in this place. 'I feel like digging a hole to hide in.'
